There’s also the genocide of Arabs and South Asians in Zanzibar by rebelling indigenous African forces, the expulsion of Indians from Uganda, and the genocide of colonial French in revolutionary Haiti

I feel like the persecution of Muslims after the Christian “reconquests” of Spain, Sicily, and Malta could also be considered examples. Same goes for the persecution of Turks after Greece and the Balkans became independent. The expulsion of German populations from much of Europe after world war 2 would be another good one.

When Venezuela revolted against Spain, rebelling llaneros, many escaped slaves or mestizo, would massacre neutral civilians were born in Spain, but spared even royalist people who were born in the Americas.

some of these seem more like the oppressed retaliating against their oppressors no? i feel like oppression requires the institutionalized aspect or at least that’s what i’m thinking when i say it

The institutionalized slaughter of the former oppressors is still oppression. It doesn’t magically become okay because a once marginalized group does it

i didn’t call it ok lol but that’s just the thing not all this slaughter seems institutionalized to me. the violence of the event doesn’t change just because i think a different adjective fits it better. the event controls the words we use my words don’t alter what the event was. that’s how i see it

The motivation for “revenge” is broadly the same. If you want institutional oppression of formerly privileged groups rather than events of slaughter, i would point to the treatment of Germans in postwar Poland, Manchus in KMT China, Muslims in Iberia, Indians in Uganda, Europeans in nationalist Egypt, Turks in the Balkans, Japanese in postwar Palau, and Russians in modern Latvia

There ended up being a pretty fucked up caste system in Libera as well with deported/self deported Black Americans (Americo-Liberians) and their ancestors ending up with disproportionate wealth and political power over the Africans who were already living there, which was lowkey kind of inspired by US segregation
